1 PARTNER SUCCESS Nine West Group Engaging with Customers as Brand Ambassadors 2014

2 Overview Nine West Group, a division of Nine West Holdings, Inc., is a global designer and marketer of branded footwear, accessories and jewelry. Its iconic, global brands (Nine West, Easy Spirit, Anne Klein, Bandolino, Enzo Angiolini, and Circa Joan & David) have heritages over 30-years old and established presences at major retailers in the United States as well as internationally through licensing and distributor relationships. The company also markets directly to consumers through branded specialty retail and outlet stores, and through its e-commerce sites. The Nine West brand was established in 1978 and named after its founding address 9 West 57th Street in New York City. Nine West Group, a division of Nine West Holdings, Inc., sought to increase e-commerce sales for its Ninewest.com website while building brand value in support of more sales at partner retailers. The company deployed LiveEngage, a digital engagement solution from LivePerson, for its Nine West brand that is integrated with its Demandware Commerce platform. Nine West agents now use Click-to-Chat buttons and proactive chat to help customers on the Nine West branded website with purchases. The early results for the first 4 months for ninewest.com are impressive: the live chat channel achieved 10 percent higher average order values compared with rates on all non-live chat assisted transactions, 15 percentage points higher conversion rates compared with nonchat assisted visitors to ninewest.com, and 3 percentage points higher reported customer satisfaction than reported by visitors surveyed online on the Nine West branded website. The company has now extended the LivePerson deployment to two other brands. Nine West is one of the world s most recognized brands for women s footwear. The brand operates its own retail stores and its products are prominent at department stores and other retailers. Consumers can also buy directly from Nine West s e-commerce site, which is managed by Milton Pappas and his team. Its parent company, Nine West Holdings, Inc., also owns other well-known brands such as Easy Spirit, and operates Easy Spirit s e-commerce site as well as several other e-commerce sites, including one for the brand Jones New York. Pappas was brought on board as Nine West Group s president of E-Commerce in mid I was given a charter of growing the e-commerce business while strengthening our brands for consumers shopping elsewhere, says Pappas, who previously led e-commerce at Toys R Us. We want our website to be a digital flagship so that when consumers are buying our product from our partner retailers, they re using it to do research and engage with the brand. The Results Sales Facilitation 15% higher conversion rate for visitors using live chat, compared with conversion rate for non-chat assisted visitors to ninewest.com 10% higher average order value (AOV) for transactions using live chat compared with AOV for all non-chat assisted transactions on ninewest.com 3% of total sales are from live chat-assisted sales 2

3 Customer Experience 3% higher customer satisfaction rate reported in post-chat surveys by live chat users on ninewest.com than was reported in online surveys of visitors to ninewest.com The Challenges Drive incremental revenue through an optimal e-commerce experience Build brand satisfaction for future in-store purchases Reduce support costs while improving customer service The Solution Engagement Model Live chat for sales and customer service Key Capabilities Static and proactive live chat with rules-based targeting; integration with Demandware ecommerce platform Customer Success Deployment assistance and ongoing strategic and operational support to drive time to ROI and optimize labor spend LivePerson Partner Demandware (LivePerson Apps Marketplace Partner; LivePerson is a Certified Premier tier LINK Technology partner for Demandware) In an omnichannel world, live chat is something you need to have on your site just to be in the game. Milton Pappas, President, E-Commerce, Nine West Group Maximizing sales for all channels Staying competitive in e-commerce is more complex than it was a few years ago. It used to be as simple as, Does my site work on Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari? Pappas recalls. But now we must consider what our site looks like on a variety of screens desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone as well as a variety of operating systems. And today s customers expect to be able to access real-time help at the touch of a button. As a result, live chat was high on the list of enhancements to add to the customer experience when Pappas arrived. I ve had a lot of exposure to LivePerson over the years, he asserts. We did a formal evaluation of several vendors, but it turned out to be a relatively short process because LivePerson has an unparalleled track record with enterprise-level retail. And the LivePerson Customer Success organization demonstrated that they could provide the services and support we need to manage the program with a limited staff. The primary reason I liked LivePerson was the simplicity, adds Sandie Ryan, the director of Customer Service for Nine West Group. Our staff is small, and the fact that LivePerson didn t require a lot of legwork made it possible to deploy the solution quickly. I also like how intuitive the reporting functionalities are in the LiveEngage platform. I can ask any member of the team for a report, and he or she can pull it. Rolling out the solution Once they chose LivePerson, Pappas and his team worked quickly. We signed the contract in late August and began chatting with customers before the end of September 2013 just in time for the holiday season, Ryan reports. I was surprised at how easy the deployment was, and how quickly our agents were able to learn the platform. One early priority was ensuring tight integration between LivePerson technology and Nine West s website, which runs on the Demandware Commerce platform. The two companies have a close relationship: Demandware is a LivePerson Apps Marketplace Partner, and LivePerson is a Demandware LINK Technology Partner. A certified integration between the two platforms is available in both LivePerson s Apps Marketplace and the Demandware LINK Marketplace. Demandware s open, cloud-based platform makes it really easy to bring something like LivePerson into our environment, Pappas relates. Deployment engineers from the LivePerson Customer Success team worked closely with Nine West s IT staff to ensure a seamless integration. Nine West uses about 24 part-time live chat agents to support the project, and we generally have two or three agents online at a time between 8:00 a.m. and midnight Eastern Time, Ryan explains. To ensure peak agent productivity, Ryan and her team worked with a LivePerson Custom Success manager to determine how many live chat agents are needed each hour to manage anticipated volume, based on historical data. Staffing is the most expensive element of our customer service program, Ryan notes. Rather than selling the software and then walking away, LivePerson has helped us to get the most for our investment. 3

4 With our limited resources, it s very good that deployment doesn t require much leg work from us. Sandie Ryan, Director, Customer Service, Nine West Group Targeting high-value visitors Both Click-to-Chat buttons and proactive chat invitations were included in the initial deployment. Click-to-Chat buttons are located on our footer, on our product pages, and in the shopping cart, Ryan reports. And we target high-value customers with proactive chat invitations. The LivePerson Customer Success organization helped Ryan s team to customize the buttons and invitations to reflect Nine West branding. Also based on recommendations from the LivePerson Customer Success manager, Nine West created eight targeting rules for proactive chat. Because of the certified integration, information from Demandware s cloud platform such as product name, price, and user information can be used in rules created for the LiveEngage platform. This enables us to target our high-value customers with great precision, Ryan relates. A month after the launch, Ryan met with the Customer Success manager and reviewed the performance of each targeting rule. We tweaked some of them slightly to make sure that we were getting the best leads, Ryan explains. The team now reviews the rules on a regular basis using LivePerson s analysis tools, which help them to refine rules not only for the best conversion rate, but also for the delivery of incremental revenue as opposed to sales that would have occurred anyway via self service. Optimizing the experience To make for the best experience once customers begin a live chat, Nine West initially limited most agents to two concurrent conversations at a given time. Our average concurrency rate was about 1.4 at first, Ryan reports. After the holiday peak, we used information from LivePerson s agent effectiveness report to shuffle our staff and ensure that the best chatters were on the live chat channel. Now we re working to increase our concurrency and chats per agent hour rates for the optimized team. To further maximize agent efficiency, Nine West developed a library of prepared responses to frequently asked questions. We started with an initial set and sent it out to the agents for feedback, Ryan relates. We have built upon these, creating additional prepared responses based on agent feedback, analysis of chat conversations, and through our regular quality assurance process. We ve even created several responses in Spanish for those who are not fully fluent in that language. Altogether, the company now has around 30 prepared responses, which are categorized and easily accessible through the LiveEngage platform. The LivePerson Customer Success manager maintains regular touch points with Ryan and provides reports and scorecards to help the team tweak its strategy and operations for the best results. The scorecards give us a macro-level view of our live chat infrastructure, including operations and conversion data, Ryan says. They are easy to read and give us the exact information we need to keep the program running optimally. 4

5 We want to give them a great experience so they ll complete the sale in store when appropriate. Milton Pappas, President, E-Commerce, Nine West Group Impressive early results After the initial four months, Nine West realized significant value from the deployment of the LiveEngage platform. Live chat-assisted sales now account for three percent of Nine West s total sales on Ninewest.com, and Ryan and her team expect that number to increase as awareness and use of this new channel grows. For the first four months using LiveEngage, conversion rates for visitors to ninewest.com who used live chat were 15 percentage points higher than Nine West s conversion rates for non-chat assisted visitors to ninewest.com, and the Average Order Value (AOV) was 10 percent higher on orders placed after using LiveEngage, compared with the AOV on all non-live chat assisted transactions on ninewest.com. The Nine West team is realizing cost savings as well: We estimate that 15 percent of conversations are being deflected from phone or to live chat, which is definitely a lowercost channel for us, Ryan says. Since the team s charter is to support brand image for in-store sales in addition to e-commerce, customer satisfaction rates are paramount. The customer satisfaction rate reported in live chat surveys of visitors who used the LiveEngage platform is 3 percentage points higher than the overall customer satisfaction rate reported in online surveys of visitors to ninewest.com during the same time frame, Ryan reports. And these sales results come at lower cost than with other channels. Exciting future plans In the last two months, Nine West Group has scaled up its LiveEngage platform deployment to cover the e-commerce websites for the Jones New York and Easy Spirit brands. I expect everything to go smoothly because it s such an easy-to-use tool, Ryan relates. And with our limited resources, it s a very good that deployment doesn t require much leg work from us. The team is also looking at adding mobile Click-to-Chat capabilities to optimize the customer experience for visitors to Nine West s mobile site, which is also based on the Demandware platform. The phenomenon of showrooming means that customers are doing product research on our site while shopping in our partner retail stores, Pappas says. We want to give them a great experience so they ll complete the sale in store when appropriate. And customer experience is the key to e-commerce success, according to Pappas. In an omnichannel world, live chat is something you need to have on your site just to be in the game. It is a critical customer experience expectation these days. About LivePerson LivePerson, Inc.
